AI agents improve forecast combination in empirical economics.

problem Hidden researcher degrees of freedom in AI-generated code.
method Adapted agent-loop architecture to empirical economics, added holdout evaluation.
result Independent agent searches find better forecast methods than benchmarks.

Data describing historical economic growth are analysed. Included in the analysis is the world and regional economic growth. The analysis demonstrates that historical economic growth had a natural tendency to follow hyperbolic distributions. Parameters describing hyperbolic distributions have been determined. A search …

Contrary to conventional economic growth theory, which reduces a country's output to one aggregate variable (GDP), product diversity is central to economic development, as recent 'economic complexity' research suggests. A country's product diversity reflects its diversity of knowhow or 'capabilities'. Researchers propo…

The paper argues that attracting more economists and adopting a more-precise definition of dynamic complexity might help econophysics acquire more attention in the economics community and bring new lymph to economic research. It may be necessary to concentrate less on the applications than on the basics of economic com…

Computer science scans LLMs to understand and manipulate their economic forecasts.

problem Understanding and controlling the reasoning of large language models in economics.
method Brain scanning techniques applied to LLMs to identify and manipulate underlying concepts.
result LLMs can be steered to generate forecasts with specific biases, allowing for correction or simulation.

Our study shows that many firms would accumulate at zero output level (namely, Bankruptcy status) if a perfectly competitive market reaches full employment (namely, those people who should obtain employment have obtained employment). As a result, appearance of economic crisis is determined by two points; that is, (a). …

Interpretable neural networks improve economic research by balancing accuracy and transparency.

problem Lack of interpretability in neural networks hinders their use in economic research.
method Proposes interpretable neural network models that balance prediction accuracy and interpretability.
result Achieved 94.5% accuracy in predicting employment status using high-dimensional data.

Differential privacy for simple linear regression protects small datasets from individual data leaks.

problem Protecting sensitive personal information in small datasets from individual data leaks.
method Differential privacy algorithms for simple linear regression tailored for small datasets (tens to hundreds of datapoints).
result Robust estimators like Theil-Sen perform well on small datasets, but standard algorithms improve as dataset size increases.

Recent research in economic theory attempts to study optimal economic growth and spatial location of economic activity in a unified framework. So far, the key result of this literature - asymptotic convergence, even in the absence of decreasing returns to capital - relies on specific assumptions about the objective of …
